And just like that, How Far The Sky is finished!
Three weeks. 50k words. Just as many happy cries.
It's the first novella I've written (that wasn't Star Trek fanfic) and it feels like… I'm not sure what it feels like 😂
Time to kill my darlings, yeah?

Oh, Scarlet.
She wasn't supposed to stick around.
Just a couple of scenes and send the boys on their way, right?
Then I sort of fell in love with her and she decided she wasn't going to let me write her out.
She's a badass like that.

🧵 just crossed 25,000 and I’m FEELING IT.
🧨 tactical tension
💔 soft boys in hard places
💋 morally complex aunties
🥀 “Five more minutes” and other things that will absolutely wreck you
Halfway to the goal. All the way in my feels. This one’s gonna hurt (in the best way).

Chapter 11: Larak is spiraling, swooning, and somehow still standing.
“You didn’t put me in danger. Reed did. You just showed up when it counted.”
He’s scared. He stays anyway.

Chapter 11 is in the bag. Accidentally wrote two emotionally constipated men falling in love while trying very hard not to talk about it.
Turns out I’m a sucker for doomed tenderness. Who knew.
